Hola Jorge,
You have a nice photo here, good colours and DOF but it could be better with something else on it like a boat, a bird or I don't know...
And more lines about it too.

ps.: by the way my perfect beach has some girls on bikinis. :)

Very beautiful colors, Jorge! I like the picture, and also the vertical framing, that in this setting delivers the great feeling of freedom (more sky, less ground). However, a walking person or even a still object would have done more justice to this amazing settings, as this picture is a bit "empty" and I can feel a longing for something to fill the void. I know from my own experience that sometimes you dont have nobody but yourself in such locations, and then you just have to decide whether to take it as it is or just wait for the right timing...In any case, thanks for sharing this amazing place...

Hi Jorge.

Yes, colours are nice, but this is really an empty shot. No real pattern, no object to concentrate your view, way way too big sky and no clouds on it, so usage of big sky is not wanted so much. Questonable also is the usage of the vertical format. In all photo looks washed out, I'm sure you could have done better than this.

hey jorge

this is a nice shot, but your vertical framing has limited the scope of the photo. i think this would have been much nicer in horizontal, so that we could see more of the beach and more of that beautiful water.

the sky is not your subject, so it's a waste to dedicate 60% of your photo to clear blue sky.

the other comments are correct in that you need somethin to break up the shot. perhaps a person, boat or even a tree.

it's a nice day, so i would have played with your aperture and shutter speed a little, to try and get a sharper shot, especially to capture the waves.

good effort, keep shooting!
